Originally published in Tom's Chorographia Britanniae. Or A Set
of Maps of all the Counties in England and Wales...,1742.

Described in Hodson, County Atlases
of the British Isles, entries 188-189, pp.154-157: "The approxiamte
date of publication of the atlas is known from an advertisement in
the Daily Post 14 June 1742: 'This Day is publish'd, (Price 5s. in
Sheets, and 6s. bound) Most humbly inscrib'd to his Royal Highness
Frederick Prince of Wales. Curiously engrav'd on Fifty-three Copper-Plates,
being the cheapest and most useful Book ever yet publish'd, Chorographia
Britanniae...[followed by a long description almost identical
to the title-page] Engrav'd by William Henry Toms. Sold by J. Hodges
on London-Bridge; E. Cummins at the Royal-Exchange; T. Longman, Pater-noster
Row; W.H. Toms, Engraver, in Union-Court, near Hatton-Garden, Holbourn;
W. Sandby, at the Ship without Temple Bar; J. Joliffe, and J. Jackson,
in St. James's-Street; J. Brindley, and J. Pine, in New Bond-Street;
J. Stagg, in Westminster-Hall; and R. Amey in the Court of Requests,
and at his Shop at Charing-Cross.'
Although several booksellers are named here it is apparent from the
title-page that they acted merely as retailers of this book and that
at this stage the atlas was wholly owned by Toms. This is confirmed
by subsequent advertisements where the book is 'Sold by the Proprietor,
W.H. Toms'. At the time the maps were engraved the work was apparently
owned jointly by Badeslade and Toms (see imprint of the maps). Presumably
Badeslade left the partnership between September 1741, the date in
the imprint of the maps and June 1742 when the atlas was published.
The large number of surviving examples of the atlas shows that Chorographia
Britanniae was a considerable success; it was perhaps one of the two
or three best-selling county atlases to be published before Cary's
new and correct English atlas appeared in 1787. It was the first eighteenth-century
county atlas to be truly pocket size and, like its road-book equivalent,
Britannia depicta (nos 149-65), it immediately found a substantial
and hitherto unexploited market. It is surprising that, with the example
of Britannia depicta before them, the map trade neglected for so long
to publish a pocket county atlas.
The first edition of the atlas, in its four variants, was on sale
for only a short time; within two or three months a new edition was
published.
Each county map and the maps of Wales has a title outside the top
border 'A Map of [name of county] except for Bedfordshire, Essex,
Lancashire and Wiltshire which are simply headed by the county name
and Sussex which is headed 'THE COUNTY OF SUSEX'. Except for Middlesex
this title is followed by a note of the approximate bearing of the
county from London as, for example, 'A Map of HEREFORD SHIRE North
West from London'. Outside the bottom border of the maps is engraved,
with minor variations, 'T. Badeslade delin.' (left), 'Publish'd by
the Proprietors T. Badeslade & W H Toms Septr. 29th. 1741.' (center)
and 'W.H. Toms Sculpt' (right). These signatures also appear on the
five leaves bearing tables of roads and lists of towns except that
here 'T. Badeslade delin.' is omitted. In a panel at the left side
of each county map is a list of towns with notes of parliamentary
representation, markets, fairs and other information. The size of
the county maps averages 15.4 x 15.0 cm including the panel and each,
except where indicated below, has a scale-bar of 'English Miles'.
The county maps are based on Moll."

Probably originally published in Osborne's Geographia Magnae
Britanniae. Or, Correct maps of all the counties is England, Scotland,
and Wales..., published 1748 and 1756?

Described in Smith, Antique Maps of
the British Isles, pp.182-183: "Osborne's Geopraphia Magnae
Britanniae contained charming, small decorative maps in an early
style...vertical borders graduated into degrees of latitude; horizontal
borders graduated into degrees of longitude but the upper border is
sometimes graduated in 'minutes of time' instead...Ttile: 'A Correct
Map of...'set within a panel usually having a decorative frame resembling
carved wood."

Published in Cobbett's A Geographical Dictionary of England and
Wales..., 1832 or second edition, 1854.

Described in Chubb, Printed Maps in
the Atlases of Great Britain and Ireland, entries CCCCXL and
CCCCXLa, p.304: "Contains fifty-two outline maps of the counties of
England and Wales with a general map. The maps are very poor, simply
giving the towns and county boundary. The names of the counties are
given in long panels; and below the border of each map is: 'Drawn
& Engraved for Cobbett's Geographical Dictionary of England and Wales.'"

Published originally in Dodsley and Cowley, The Geography of
England: Done in The Manner of Gordon's Geographical Grammar...1744,
or in Dodsley and Cowley, A New Sett of Pocket Mapps of all the
Counties of England and Wales...,1745.

Described in Chubb, Printed Maps in
the Atlases of Great Britain and Ireland, entries CLXXXI and
CLXXXIII, pp.139-141: CLXXXI: "The fifty-five, very clearly engraved,
maps given in the following list are arranged throughout the volume
with the text to which they belong. The titles of the county maps
begin: 'An Improved Map of,' and end, 'by J. Cowley, Geographer to
his Majesty.'" CLXXXIII: "The maps are precisely the same as those
issued in The Geography of England, published by R. Dodsley
in 1744."

Originally published in Walpoole's The New British Traveller;

Arms. No. 16, PATERNOSTER ROW".

Originally published in Reuben Ramble's travels through the counties
of England, 1845.

Described in Smith, Antique Maps of
the British Isles, pp.190-192: "The charming miniature maps...of
'Reuben Ramble' were lithographic reproductions of those published
by Robert Miller, with the addition of small vignettes around the
border, showing local rural scenes and places of interest and importance.
The issue was designed for children and it is, therefore, unusual
to find the maps in good condition, and particularly without some
juvenile additions!"

Originally published in Simpson's The agreeable historian, or
the compleat English traveller...,1746. Some of the maps were
reissued between 1749 and 1757.

Described in Smith, Antique Maps of
the British Isles, entry 100, pp.201-202: "Simpson produced
a set of rare, small county maps..., 'after the Designs of Herman
Moll, and others', each decorated with one, sometimes two, coats-of-arms,
in The Agreeable Historian, or the Compleat English Traveller
of 1746."

Described in Chubb, Printed Maps in
the Atlases of Great Britain and Ireland, entry CLXXXIV, pp.141-142:
"Three volumes containing forty-one maps of the counties of England.
Most of them show the arms of the counties, and frequently those of
the chief towns and of the principal county families. The maps precede
the histories of the various counties. They bear no pagination or
reference to show that they belong to any work, and the backs are
plain."

Described in Smith, Antique Maps of
the British Isles, entry 15, p.111: "Close copies of these
maps [ie. Bowen, The Natural history of England; or, a description
of each particular county...1756-1762] were published in 1770
by Pieter Meijer in Algemeene oefenschoole van konsten en weetenschappen....the
map and title are engraved in Dutch and Meijer's name appears in the
title cartouche."

Probably originally published in Dugdale's Curiosities of Great
Britain. England & Wales Delineated..., published 1848 and 1854-60.

Described in Chubb, Printed Maps in
the Atlases of Great Britain and Ireland, entry CCCCLXVI,
pp.323: "A very nicely prepared work in three volumes, each containing
an engraved title-page and frontispiece, with numerous finely engraved
topographical views. The pagination, 1-1586, is continuous throughout
the three volumes. The fifty-eight maps are "Drawn & engraved by J.
Archer, Pentonville, London," the statement being given in the bottom
right-hand corner of each map. The imprints referred to in the 1843
issue are erased. The maps are arranged alphabetically throughout
the three volumes, but each one bears a number which shows that they
were arranged differently in a former issue, probably in a separate
volume. The Welsh counties bear the highest numbers. The population
is given from the census returns of 1831. The text is, apparently,
the same as the earlier issues; but some of the views and the addition
of railways on the maps suggest a later date."

Probably from the atlas Ellis's English Atlas: or, A Compleat
Chorography of England and

Wales: in Fifty Maps Containing more Particulars than any other
Collection of the Same Kind...,

published 1766.

Described in Chubb, Printed Maps in
the Atlases of Great Britain and Ireland 1579-1870, entry

Probably from Moule's atlas The English Counties Delineated;

Described in Chubb, Printed Maps in

CCCCLXXII, pp.326-328: "A splendid work, containing fifty-eight maps
and plans embellished by topographical views, coats of arms (some
of which are named), elaborately decorated borders, and symbolical
pictures. Engraved by James Bingley, John Dower, and W. Schmollinger."

Described in Smith, Antique Maps of
the British Isles, pp.176-178: "Moule produced a set of deservedly
popular maps..., in parts from 1830 and as a complete work from 1837,
based mainly on his own observations: 'Without assuming any extraordinary
pretensions to topographical information, the Editor may mention that
he has, with 'expensive diligence' personally visited every county
in England, excepting only Devonshire and Cornwall...'. The county
maps, town plans and environs' maps were finely engraved on steel
and mostly richly decorated in flamboyant style with armorials and
crests, secular and clerical figures, vignettes of local scenes and
buildings, and architectural embellishments. This was the last series
of decorative county maps produced and was an unusual product in a
period when map-makers were rejecting ornamentation in favour of an
austere, functional style. The maps were issued over a long period
and display some interesting plate changes; railway information was
added and regularly revised, vignettes were reworked and in some cases
completely altered, and, most intriguingly, the names of the engravers
on some of the maps were changed; for example, Warwickshire was attributed
to Schmollinger before 1838 and to Bingley after 1838. The early issues
of the maps, which were generally printed on better quality paper
than later issues, were often coloured either in outline or with colour
washes on the hundreds, but the decorative features were not coloured
as they tend to be by modern colourists. Later issues are more frequently
found close cropped than earlier issues, with little or no margins,
since the format of Barclays Universal English Dictionary was
slightly smaller than the original English Counties Delineated
and the sheets had to be trimmed during binding."

Probably originally published by Baker in the atlas Laurie and
Whittle's New and Improved English Atlas, Divided into Counties: shewing
Their Respective Situations, Boundaries, and Extent..., 1807.

Described in Chubb, Printed Maps in
the Atlases of Great Britain and Ireland 1579-1870, entry
CCXCIV, p.227: "A good many additions and corrections have been made
in the forty-four original plates. A star indicator of the points
of the compass is added to the title-panel partly obliterating the
engraver's name. "Published October...1806, by Laurie & Whittle, No.

Probably from Moll's atlas A New Description of England and Wales,
With the Adjacent Islands..., published 1724.

Described in Chubb, Printed Maps in
the Atlases of Great Britain and Ireland 1579-1870, entries
CLXI and CLXII, pp.127-128: "Uncoloured reprints of the fifty maps
of England and Wales by H. Moll, issued in A New Description of England
and Wales. 1724. The only alteration is that the plates are numbered
1-50 within brackets between the border lines, in the top left-hand
corner, in the same order as the previous issue. It is sometimes found
bound in folio.
[McMaster's copy has "(10)" printed between border lines, upper left.]

Described in Smith, Antique Maps of
the British Isles, pp.171-172: "Moll was possibly born in
Holland, but more likely Germany; later, he came to England, and was
first recorded as working with Moses Pitt in 1678 in London. After
working for other publishers, he established his own business and
eventually dominated the map trade in the early decades of the eighteenth
century. He produced many maps and atlases including county atlases
of England and Wales, Scotland and Ireland. His county maps were all
boldly engraved in a characteristically heavy style and were unoriginal,
being based on the earlier work of Norden, Ogilby, Speed and others
- despite his claim that he 'omitted no pains to have them very correctly
done, according to the Newest Observations and latest discoveries.'
The county maps...of England and Wales are particularly attractive
since the early issues were decorated with small vignette views or
engravings of antiquities excavated in the county."

Probably from Fullarton's The Parliamentary Gazetteer of England
and Wales..., published 1843.

Described in Smith, Antique Maps of
the British Isles, pp.138-140: "Fullarton printed and published
several cartographical works including Parliamentary Gazetteer
of England and Wales which contained finely engraved, surprisingly
detailed, county maps... These maps are very similar to those produced
by Sidney Hall but most are decorated with a small, attractive vignette
of an important place in the county, such as a cathedral, abbey or
castle, or a panoramic view of a major town. The preface to the Gazetteer
includes an interesting comment on the modus operandi of mid-nineteenth
century map-makers: 'the Publisher will not impose on public confidence
by representing it as founded upon "actual survey" - a mode of procedure
which, however, desirable, and indeed necessary to absolute correctness
in a Work of this class - would it is evident, require at once the
authority and funds of Government to execute with any degree of accuracy
and correctness; but every means in the power of private parties has
been adopted to render this part of their Work satisfactory to the
reader, the best Topographical authorities, and in particular, the
Ordnance maps of the great trigonometrical survey of England and Wales,
have been studiously consulted,...and local information has been obtained,
when necessary, from competent sources'. Incidentally, he also neatly
undermined competitive works, particularly Samuel Lewis's Topographical
Dictionary, by describing them as 'in great part obsolete and
more or less unfit'."

Probably from Kitchin's atlas England Illustrated, or, A Compendium
of the Natural History, Geography, Topography, and Antiquities Ecclesiastical
and Civil, of England and Wales. With maps of..., published 1764
and 1770.

Described in Chubb, Printed Maps in
the Atlases of Great Britain and Ireland 1579-1870, entry
CCXXIV, pp.185-186: "Richard Gough, in his British Topography,
Vol. I, p.41, says: "In 1764 he [Dodsey] put out a new work in 2 vols,
4to. pretended to be upon a new plan, intitled, 'England illustrated...with
maps of the several counties, and engravings of many remains...and
principal towns.' This is nothing more than an abridgement of Camden
in a different method, all his errors adopted, and many new ones committed.
The views are copied from Messrs. Buck by B. Ralph and J. Ryland,
and the maps of little value. No compiler has been owned." With this
criticism, as far as the maps are concerned, I do not agree, as they
are clearly and distinctly engraved as is usual with Kitchin's maps.
It is true they do not give much detail; the scale will not allow
of that. The main roads and principal cross roads are shown very prominently.
The titles of all the county maps, which are enclosed in floriated
cartouches, begin with: 'A New Map of,' and end: 'By Thos. Kitchin
Geogr. Engraver to H.R.H. the Duke of York'."

Described in Smith, Antique Maps of
the British Isles, p.102: "Of the many maps and atlases produced
by Baker from his premises in Islington, the most interesting and
available is the series of county maps...which were issued in the
Universal Magazine. These clearly engraved maps were essentially
copies of Cary's maps from the New and Correct English Atlas...and
were later issued in revised form by Laurie & Whittle...Baker became
engraver to the Board of Ordnance at the Tower of London where he
engraved sheets for the first edition of the one inch Ordnance Survey
maps.
N.B. These plates were adapted for Laurie & Whittle's New and improved
English atlas...."

Described in Smith, Antique Maps of
the British Isles, pp.144-145: "Hall was a prolific engraver
who produced maps for many atlases and publishers. In particular,
he engraved a set of plain, interesting county maps...which were issued
under several atlas titles. These maps went through many editions
and show a series of revisions; it is common, for example, to find
railway information up-dated by hand.
These maps were issued over a period of 54 years in atlases and as
folding maps; most issues updated railway and other information. They
were also published in other works."

Described in Chubb, Printed Maps in
the Atlases of Great Britain and Ireland 1579-1870, entry
CCLXIV, p.216: "The date if the title-page is corrected to July 1st,
1809. This is practically a new work as the whole of the letter-press
is reset and the maps re-engraved. Except Westmoreland, which is undated,
the maps bear the imprint: "London. Published by J. Cary Engraver
& Map-Seller, No. 181, Strand. July 1, 1809." They may be identified
by the plate-mark which is half-an-inch beyond the border of the maps
instead of quarter-of-an-inch as was the case with the earlier impressions."

the British Isles, pp.215-216: "Wallis produced three sets
of county maps that are generally available. The largest set, issued
in Wallis's New British Atlas...were close copies of those
issued by Cole & Roper..., in a similar plain style, but apparently
engraved in 'a superior manner'."

county boundary gives the counties the appearance of islands....The
plates are unnumbered."

"Fifty maps including the counties of England, maps of North and South
Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and "The Smaller Islands in the British
Ocean." Most of the maps bear the name Robt. Morden. Sutton Nicholls,
and John Sturt appear, as the engravers, on a few of them, and as
others are similar in execution, it is probable that they were also
engraved by them. They are plain at the back.
Gibson, in his preface, says "The Maps are all new engrav'd, either
according to Surveys never before publish'd, or according to such
as have been made and printed since Saxton and Speed. Where actual
Surveys could be had, they were purchas'd at any rate; and for the
rest, one of the best Copies extant was sent to some of the most knowing
Gentlemen in each County, with a request to supply the defects, rectifie
the positions, and correct the false spellings. And that nothing might
be wanting to render them as complete and accurate as might be, this
whole business was committed to Mr. Robert Morden, a person of known
abilities in these matters, who took care to revise them, to see the
slips of the Engraver mended, and the corrections, return'd out of
the several Counties, duly inserted. Upon the whole, we need now scruple
to affirm, that they are by much the fairest and most correct of any
that have yet appear'd," etc."

Described in Kershaw, Early Printed
Maps of Canada 1540-1703, Vol. I, entry 15b, p.18: "The final
edition of the Viaggi appeared in 1606, and the maps are identical
to those of the second edition with the exception of the page numbers
that have been changed from 424/425 to 353/354. In addition, the Nvova
Francia wood-block appears to have been damaged by wood-worm since
its last use in 1565, so that elongate oval blank areas appear in
the final printed form of the map where the surface of the block has
been wormed."

Published originally in Ramusio's Navigationi et Viaggi;
Vol. 3, 1606.

Described in Kershaw Early Printed
Maps of Canada 1540-1703, Vol. 1, entry 17b, p.18: "In this
final edition the page numbers change to 380.2o/380.3o.
and the evidence of wood-worm damage to the block is very apparent."

Description: Printed map. 26 cm x 35 cm, on sheet 32 cm x 41 cm.
All land hand coloured. Large tear in bottom left corner. Small tears
along top and bottom edges.

Described in Shirley, The Mapping
of the World: Early Printed World Maps 1472-1700, entry 77,
p.87: "Munster's 'modern' map of the world is an oval projection with
a vigorous surround of clouds and lusty windheads. The east and west
heads are placed inside the oval circumference. It is a woodcut, like
all the maps he produced, and most of the type for the lettering has
been set separately in rectangular inserts.
The continents are shown in rough outline only with the Americas taking
on an unusual shape, florida and francisca are almost separated by
a deep cleft of water and, further north, the Terra nova sive de Bacalhos
is part of a huge promontary extending as far as and joining onto
Scandinavia. The channel between this land mass and francisca bears
the legend 'This strait leads through to the Moluccas'. It would appear
that Munster's map is based on a combination of information derived
from Verrazzano's explorations of 1522-24, when the waters of Chesapeake
Bay were mistaken for the Indian Ocean, and reports of Cartier's voyages
of 1534-35 up the St. Lawrence seaway into the Great Lakes vainly
searching for the north-west passage. The west coast of North America,
hypothetically drawn, carries the name Temistitan, then generally
used to denote Mexico.
In Africa, the course of the Nile is prominent, with its twin sources
terminating in a range of mountains. Unidentified islands Grisonum
and Calensuan are placed in the proximity of Australia, while for
the first time on a printed map the Pacific Ocean (mare pacificum)
receives its name.
Munster's 1540 world map appeared in three subsequent editions of
the Geographia, in 1541, 1542 and 1545. It also was used for
the first four editions of his more extensive encyclopaedic work,
the Cosmographia in 1550, the last edition of the Geographia
in 1552, and for all later editions of the Cosmographia up
to and including 1578. Maps from this second block can easily be recognized
because the titles of the windheads are in banners and the east and
west winds are now contained within the outer surround. It is also
signed 'DK' - the initials of the wood engraver David Kandel - in
the lower left-hand corner. A third block was used for editions of
the Cosmographia from 1588 onwards."
